Raw Turquoise Cuff — Handcrafted Copper Talisman Jewelry
Handmade, crystal jewelry crafted in copper and raw Sonoran turquoise to steady breath, open the heart, and ground your energy through everyday ritual adornment.
Handcrafted in copper and raw Sonoran turquoise, this talisman anchors presence and steady courage for your daily ritual, pairing earth-born metal with ocean-hued stone to support grounding and clear communication.
This isn’t just jewelry. It’s a talisman for the woman who moves through the world with purpose — grounded, radiant, and alive in her strength.
Materials & Process
Each cuff begins with five raw Sonoran turquoise specimens—each shard kept in its natural shape to preserve color, matrix, and texture. Using a slow electroforming method, copper is grown around each stone so the metal follows the crystal's contours rather than obscuring them. Pieces are hand-finished, gently polished, and sealed with a protective finish that allows the copper to age gracefully; wear will deepen the verdigris and story of the piece. This is handcrafted copper jewelry made start-to-finish in Santa Fe by artisan Marie.
Crystal Properties
Turquoise is a revered healing crystal known for its protective and clarifying energy. A grounding crystal with a long history as a spirit-stabilizing talisman, turquoise supports emotional balance, encourages honest expression, and strengthens connection to intuition. As a December birthstone and throat-chakra ally, it helps steady nerves, deepen presence in ritual, and bring clarity to communication—making this cuff a thoughtful spiritual gift or birthstone jewelry choice for those seeking empowerment and protection.
Purpose & Meaning
Let the copper cradle the stone as a reminder: metal for conduction, stone for spirit. This handmade crystal talisman functions as a companion for meditation, a prompt for mindful breath, and a durable accent for ceremonial or everyday wear. Adjustable and ready to be personalized by the body it adorns, the cuff is meant to center attention toward practice, not perfection—an elemental tool for grounding, protection, and clarity.
- Stone: Five raw Sonoran turquoise specimens, unique in color and matrix
- Metal: Hand-electroformed copper with protective finish; ages to a rich patina
- Fit: Open, adjustable cuff—gently bend to custom-fit most wrists
- Use: Daily talisman, ritual adornment, or metaphysical jewelry for layering
Give as a spiritual gift or keep as a personal talisman—the combination of copper and turquoise carries grounding energy that meets intention with craft.
Each talisman is one-of-a-kind, born of earth and alchemy — made to steady your energy and remind you to return to your center.
The Metal
The Metal
Each bracelet is electroformed in pure copper, a process that uses electricity to slowly grow metal over organic forms, stone, or wax-carved bases.
This ancient-meets-modern technique creates natural textures and one-of-a-kind variations — no two pieces will ever be the same.
All bracelets are nickel-free, can be sealed for daily wear, and finished by hand in our Santa Fe studio.
For centuries, copper has been worn as a grounding element — believed to balance energy, support circulation, and keep the wearer anchored in presence. It reminds us of our connection to the earth and our ability to return to stillness.
The Stones
The Stones
Every stone is hand-chosen for its raw beauty — untouched, uncut, and full of natural detail.
Electroforming allows the metal to flow organically around the crystal, preserving its unique shape while creating a secure, enduring setting.
Minor differences in tone, texture, or patina are intentional — they reflect the individuality of both the material and the maker.
A Micro-Ritual For You
A Micro-Ritual For You
Before putting your bracelet on, pause and take a steady breath. Let your hand rest over your pulse and recall what you want to hold close today — peace, focus, strength, or clarity. Wear it as a quiet reminder of that purpose throughout your day.

FOR THE WILD KEEPER
Craft, Care, & Fit
Sizing Guide & Fit
Our electroformed copper cuffs are not adjustable and should not be bent or forced to fit, as this can damage the piece. Choosing the right size from the start ensures a comfortable and lasting fit.
To find your size:
- Measure your wrist with a flexible tape or string.
- Add +0.5" for a closer, snug fit.
- Add +0.75" for a looser, more relaxed fit.
Size guide:
- Extra Small – fits ~5.75" wrist
- Small – fits ~6.5" wrist
- Medium – fits ~7.25" wrist
- Large – fits ~8" wrist
✨ When in doubt, size up for comfort. Exchanges are accepted. Each cuff is handmade and one-of-a-kind, crafted to be treasured for years.
How To Correctly Put On Your Bracelet
Gently form the bracelet to your wrist using slow, even pressure. Avoid bending it back and forth repeatedly, as electroformed copper is malleable and can weaken over time. A close but comfortable fit helps the metal rest naturally against the skin.
Electroformed copper cuffs are not meant to bend — they should never be pulled open or squeezed closed. Doing so can cause the
copper to crack, especially at the middle or ends of the cuff.
How to Properly Put On Your Cuff Bracelet
- Find the soft spot on your wrist — the narrow part just above the wrist bone.
- Slide the open side of the cuff sideways onto your wrist — not from the top, but from the side.
- Gently rotate or roll the bracelet into place until it rests comfortably.
- Avoid bending or stretching the cuff to make it tighter or looser.
Care & Patina
Copper will naturally develop a patina over time, a mark of age, energy, and individuality. To restore brightness, polish gently with a soft cloth or a simple lemon-and-salt paste. To preserve its aged character, simply wipe clean and let the color deepen with wear.
With a little mindful care, your jewelry will stay beautiful for years to come:
- Remove before showering, swimming, or sleeping.
- Store in a dry pouch or jewelry box to slow natural patina.
- Wipe metals gently with a soft jewelry cloth after each wear.
- Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and hair products.
- Crystals are natural and can be delicate—handle with care to avoid chips or cracks.
- Copper and brass will naturally darken over time. If you prefer a brighter finish, polish lightly with a jewelry cloth.
- For extra protection, select our lacquer option at checkout to reduce tarnish and minimize skin reactions.
Each piece is handcrafted with raw crystals and natural metals—organic changes over time add to its one-of-a-kind beauty.
Do I Need Copper Protection?
Embrace the Patina
Some collectors love the rich, aged look that copper develops over time. This natural patina tells a story—of adventures taken, energies absorbed, and the passage
of time. If you resonate with that earthy, vintage look, feel free to let your copper evolve organically.
Why add lacquer?
- Slows the natural darkening (patina) of copper
- Minimizes the chance of skin reactions
- Keeps copper looking brighter for longer
- Protects while preserving the earthy character of your jewelry
Details:
- Optional upgrade available for $6
- Applied directly to your copper ring, cuff, or bracelet before shipping
- Clear finish — no change to the look or feel of your piece
